Modernizing a ColdFusion application doesn’t have to mean rewriting it from scratch.
That’s the idea behind our latest article:
Why Migrate from ColdFusion to BoxLang? 10 Reasons to Modernize Your CFML Applications
Based on Jon Clausen’s Into the Box 2026 session, we explore why more CFML teams are looking at BoxLang as a practical modernization path.
Among the key reasons:
• Reduce licensing constraints
• Address the shrinking CFML talent pool
• Use modern language features and tooling
• Gain native Java interoperability
• Run with a much smaller runtime footprint
• Modernize incrementally instead of committing to a risky full rewrite
For organizations with years of investment in ColdFusion and CFML, the question is not necessarily:
“How do we replace everything?”
A better question may be:
“How do we preserve what already works while removing the constraints that hold us back?”
That is exactly where BoxLang becomes interesting.
